Seems
No one is listening
To what I say.
Let it go, let it be
Resting in the knowledge
I am here, I am all
I have to be.

No One Is Listening

So Long Ago
July 28, 2023
So long ago
I wrote my lines of love for you
So long ago
I lived my life for you
So long ago
I found I didn’t know you
So long ago
I left, left before you left me too
So long ago, so long ago
I loved you.

Hold Me Close
July 12, 2023
Hold me close
Don’t let me be
Sacrificed
To the dragons of eternity.
Let me see
Beauty, harmony
In the world all around
Surrounding me.
Cherish, nurture those that grow
In the shadow of greatness
Growing as they must
All alone.
But
Lovingly supported
By me, by us that hold them
Forever close.

No One Will Be
July 6, 2023
No one will be
No one can be
In the same time, place
Ever
Ever as me.
It may be tomorrow
Or
The day after that
I’ll be in heaven
Smiling down
On all this, all that.
Where I’ll be wondering
Why I cared
If no one
was in the same time, place
As me.
Like today
I’ll be wondering
Just wondering all this
And
Of course, all that.

What’s Right
July 5, 2023
Working on what’s right
On
What to say
When everything comes to light
When all see
What completes the day.
Then
I’ll have the words
That’s when I’ll know
What to say.
This is what I tell myself
Worried, I’m lying
Worried
I don’t really know
What’s right
Or
What I need to say.

Heaven Sees, Heaven Knows
June 27, 2023
Heaven sees, heaven knows
All the happenings
We need not
Disclose
Our trials, our tribulations
All our triumphs
For
She knows.
Tomorrow
Heaven will know, will see
Cause
She lives
Lives within us all
Inside of you, inside of me.

Don’t Let Me Be
June 22, 2023
Don’t let me be
The one who cries
Incessantly.
Don’t let me be
The one who mistakes
Happiness
For something else
Something, I don’t want to be.
Don’t let me be
All alone
In the midst of splendour
Please, don’t let me
Don’t let me be.

Love Is All We Need
June 12, 2023
Love
Is all we need
Love turns the world
The galaxy
Don’t
Turn away from it
Don’t be all
Alone
When love is there
Giving
Giving willingly
It’s all you need.

There Isn’t Any Time
May 30, 2023
There isn’t any time
To
Make it right
No time to turn around
An ongoing blight.
Let the world know
Let it be said
You stood your ground
You did what had to be done
Had to be said.

Tender Is The Heart
May 25, 2023
Tender is the heart
That beats
Coursing love thru all that speak
Never once demanding back
Only loving, loving
And
That is that.
